The Mowers

Description

The Mowers by George Clausen shows three farm workers cutting a sunlit field with long scythes, wearing broad hats and bending across the grass. The men bend forward across the meadow, with scythe blades extending through the grasses. Their white shirts and pale hats catch light against the green field.

The mowers are spaced across the field, and their tools echo one another.

The blades sweep across the grasses, and the workers follow one another through the field. Their hats shade their faces but catch light along the brims. Green and yellow plants vary across the foreground, while the distant tree line keeps the meadow enclosed.
